The obtained results revealed discrepancies in the identification of the tested bacterial strain with an atypical phenotype: mucous morphology of colonies, not characteristic for either E. Different methods of identification procedure, which based on various properties of bacteria, were applied, e. The aim of this study was to compare the application of phenotypic and molecular tools in bacterial identification on the example of Gram-negative intestine rod with an ambiguous phenotype. A broad choice of methods is available, based on both phenotypic and molecular properties of microbes. In diagnostic microbiology as well as in microbiological research, the identification of a microorganism is a crucial and decisive stage. The two devices had a concordance of US EPA - OPP Microbiology Laboratory SOP for VITEK 2 Compact. However, identification by phenotypic method is a great challenge despite the improvement in identification by automated systems in recent years.
